Pick a brush colour in Paint

Choosing the right colour is the first step to creating vibrant artwork in Microsoft Paint. This quick tutorial shows you how to pick any colour from the built-in palette at the top of the screen.

You'll click a colour swatch to select it, then use the brush tool to draw on your canvas. It's simple and fun — perfect for getting started with digital art or just doodling around.

By the end, you'll be confidently selecting colours and drawing freehand. This is the foundation for all your Paint projects, from simple sketches to colourful masterpieces.
